 This is a question mainly for three groups of INTJs, or for one group with two subgroups. However, all responses are welcomed, even if you aren't one of those.

My question is how did you reconcile your INTJ personality with your wish to pledge a Greek sorority or fraternity and the line process. Being INTJ, some of the things that go on during this

I bypassed the fraternity thing.

I've never been interested in joining a sorority.

I joined a fraternity that was filled with - or at least ruled by - other "non-traditional" Greek types (frat/sorority culture is not monolithic). Other INTJs? Maybe, maybe not - but I was comfortable in my house and wouldn't have bothered with the others. We even had our own rooms, so my precious solitude was more assured than it would've been in the dorms!

What do you consider "non-traditional"? Because I know of many of the different designations - social, honors, community service, professional, etc - but I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Not a Greek, though from what I saw at the University, for me it wouldn't be about the instant friendship, fulfilling a need to be accepted, or some sort of status acquisition, but what I can get behind is the charitable work that they do.

Basically, doing charity and volunteer work is good, and the fact it is done through a sorority is entirely secondary.

And when I did do Frosh Week activities through my faculty, I participated as much as I felt comfortable, and when I came against something I didn't want to do, I basically told them to shove it (no excuses or explanations), and I suspect many of the organizers and students respected me for it.

I felt the need to rant

It doesn't seem like a smart idea, therefore I never joined one, plus my college never has had a sorority. It seems like it would involve unessecary expenses, foolish activities and needless socializing. Count me out!

If there were a sorority composed of like minded people who engaged in worthwhile activities I might consider it, however that sounds more along the lines of a club or an organization. It's hard for me to find organizations on campus that actually interest me. 'We'(I hate to include myself) have nothing involving animals, computers, literature, random facts or even art! Honestly when I saw this, I wondered what community I was in! All social clubs seem to be composed of crap.
